An Iranian opposition leader has alleged that Tehran is actively rebuilding and advancing elements of its nuclear program despite ongoing diplomatic engagement with the United States under President Donald Trump.
The claim comes from a senior figure associated with Iran’s opposition movement, who stated that Iranian authorities are continuing nuclear-related work behind the scenes while publicly engaging in negotiations. According to the opposition source, activities tied to uranium enrichment and infrastructure development have not halted and may be accelerating.
The opposition figure asserted that Iranian officials are using diplomatic discussions as a shield while maintaining technical capabilities and facilities that support the country’s long-term nuclear ambitions. The allegations suggest that certain sites linked to enrichment and research are being restored or upgraded.
Iranian authorities have consistently maintained that their nuclear program is intended for peaceful energy purposes and deny pursuing nuclear weapons. However, critics both inside and outside the country have long questioned the scope and transparency of Tehran’s nuclear activities.
The renewed accusations surface at a time when discussions between Washington and Tehran remain a focal point of international attention. President Trump has emphasized efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, while also signaling openness to negotiations under specific conditions.
The opposition claims are likely to intensify scrutiny over Iran’s compliance with international nuclear agreements and may influence ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at limiting Tehran’s nuclear capabilities.
